Summary

0003852: gnome_pythone is overpackaged

Description

During my attempts to install gnome_python. There are package requirements
that seem to be outside the scope for this package, such as: firefox, nautilus, etc.

If one is writing gnome applets in python, it's hard to comprehend why one
need an entire web browser or file browser installed as well. if there is
a subset of that package that is required, perhaps that should be broken
out into a run time or base package. In such a way the entire package does
not need to be installed.
